Although I don't care for them, I respect what they are capable of. I think that one is VERY nice too! If you like it, go for it. Seems reasonable enough. Good luck!

my husband just got one. well he gets it on sunday. he got an 02 silver wrx as his beater. i will keep you posted on how it is. but i hear that they are a good car. and awd. can't beat that. depending on where you live and how long you have to drive that can be a blessing.

World Rally Blue FTW!

Have you driven a wrx before? I'm not a huge fan of their manual transmission and turbo lag is pretty evident in stock form. There really aren't any issues with them as long as you don't abuse them. Take it for a drive and if you like it pull the trigger. Then get an accessport and turn up the boost (you know you want to).

seems a little overpirced for a wrx with 55k on it i think. Not a bad car, would rather up it to a sti or evo tho.

I would go with the previous generation not the brand new ones. If your going to get one go all out and get the rally edition wrx. AWD turbo monster, they haul *** and all you need to do is upgrade a few things to unleash hell on anything that moves. There's a few vids of those slightly modified beating lambos.

Mom has an 03 yellow wrx 5 speed.
Approx 65,XXX miles on it.

No major repairs.... biggest was replace rotors and pads..... other than that just regular maintenance.

It's been a good car to her.

The manual tranny/ shifter is one of the most finicky ones I have ever dealt with..... I found that I could not relax 100 % while driving and shifting it.... I found it very "notchy" I felt that every time I shifted I had to mean it..... I could not be lazy because it was "notchy"

The stock stereo SUCKS BALLZZZ!!!

Mom has a house in vermont and the beast goes through any and all snow and still keeps full control in poor weather.She has driven it in the worst of vermont snow and it kept on going. I have driven the car also in vermont snow and I had full control and confidence.... WAY more than if I was in a big SUV.

If I remember correctly, I got decent gas mileage out of it.... close to 30.

I'm on the fence about the car....stock stereo can be upgraded....and auto could be in the manual's place but that might take something away from the car.



Best of luck w/ what you chose
